Audio Guide of the Shark Museum

The Shark Museum is generally open from Monday to Saturday, from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. You can get there by taxi, buggy (the most common transport on the island), or even on foot if you are staying near Santo Antônio Port. We recommend checking the exact opening hours on its website or at your accommodation’s reception, as they may vary.

Admission to the Shark Museum is free. It is a space dedicated to environmental awareness about the sharks that inhabit the waters of Fernando de Noronha, so access is open to all visitors interested in learning more.

A relaxed visit to the Shark Museum usually lasts between 30 and 45 minutes. It is a small, focused museum, but very informative, ideal for learning about the diversity of sharks in the region without taking too much time from your island itinerary.

The Shark Museum in Fernando de Noronha is important for its work in raising awareness about shark conservation, as these species are vital to the marine ecosystem. In addition to informative exhibits, it often hosts talks and activities that educate locals and tourists about the importance of the island’s marine wildlife, a World Heritage Site. It is also a meeting place where handcrafted products related to local maritime culture are displayed.

The best time to visit the Shark Museum is usually early in the morning, just after opening, or in the late afternoon before dusk. During these hours, visitor flow tends to be lighter, allowing you to enjoy the exhibits more peacefully. Avoid the middle of the day, when it is usually more crowded.

The Shark Museum is relatively accessible for people with reduced mobility. The facilities are mostly on one floor and the space is open. However, Fernando de Noronha in general presents some challenges due to its geography. We recommend contacting the museum directly or the island’s tourist office (noronha.pe.gov.br) for more detailed and up-to-date information about the site’s specific accessibility.

If you are in the Santo Antônio Port area, you have several nearby options. You can visit Boldró Lookout at sunset, explore the ruins of Fort Nossa Senhora dos Remédios, or go for a swim at Porto Beach, where sea turtles are often spotted. The historic center of Vila dos Remédios is also a short distance away, with shops and restaurants.
